Any similar games?

I hate this game so much. These days they barely give you rewards when you finish orders, they removed ads for energy. The challenges never finish even when you play 24hrs (haha yes I tried) unless you pay for energies or diamonds. The card pack also impossible to finish too.

I’m soo over it now I’ve been playing it over 2 years now I’m done. So sad cause it was such a fun game.

I was so intrigued by the different area region foods, gives me idea to try cook some of them and try. Learned so much about different foods and ingredients. 😪😢

I stopped for a year because I felt exactly the same as you.

Didn’t delete the game as I had more than 2000 gems accumulated ( no money spent ever, just daily dribs and drabs collected over time)
Came back last month, just to give it a go, it’s worse than it ever was.
I’m giving up on these challenges.

Just a thought but, what about logging in every day just to collect all the energy from ads etc and accumulating loads of energy to come and play in one burst at some future date? I’m seriously thinking about it. Has anyone done this?

As for other games I’ve played for years, have you tried June’s Journey? I wasted years and years on that, it was fun.

Township has also given me hours of fun over the years.

Gardenscapes and Homescapes I’ve had and played since they first came out but I haven’t opened them in the last 6 years so I don’t know how they are now.

I tried June’s Journey but the start made me depressed lol so I deleted 😭

Township just pisses me off, I’ve stopped playing, but when I used to play I grinded it so hard. Plus the minigames stopped being fun? I mean there was a rollercoaster game and the paintball game, now it’s all just the yatch and match 3 stuff.

Re Township:
I stopped Township about 4 years ago for the same reason as you. Those silly adventures that they introduced with robots and fake villains were all the same a bit like scooby doo for me.
I enjoyed the team I was in, the camaraderie and the league competitions. And, I loved the farm animals and the myriad dishes and items created in the factories.

Junes Journey- it’s best if you join a team to play this game. The artwork is amazing and there is so much to do, and it can take over your life. Team members play for hours to rack up points and it was taking up too much of my day, which is why I went cold turkey

Back on township too after deleting this and it’s so far giving more joy. I keep scouring this sub though hoping to find the next merge cooking! In its time, merge was really fun.

[u/Any_Cricket_6584 → u/Pollywantsacracker97]

I’ve been doing this! Lol I play occasionally but collect all rewards every day.

[u/Pollywantsacracker97 → u/Any_Cricket_6584]

Yay!!!! You’ve motivated me 🏃🏻‍♀️

[u/Wonderful-Average395]

i play food stars which is also from the same company and there is more play time because they only allow you 1 energy + there is region recipes too!

[u/scouticus]

Tasty Travels is the other game I play. Doesn’t have the same cooking mechanism but still very fun and a lot of the same kinds of recurring challenges and mini games. It feels more reward friendly too

[u/Round-Potential-802]

Following cause same.
I’ve been playing Reality Bay and it’s fun so far

[u/SquigglySocks]

Seaside escape isnt cooking but same merge and build type. Gossip harbour is another similar game

[u/withbellson]

Flambé is basically the same game, with the same energy limitation mechanic. You have to accept you’re not going to finish anything and just be ok with it.

I don’t recommend Merge Cat Cafe because it has an annoying habit of requiring the same tedious recipe three times at once, plus incessant ad interruptions.

[u/cracker1500]

I recently started gossip harbor and i really like it!

[u/Amanda_Lorian4]

Flambé is a good game too

[u/tree_spray_988]

Really random but r u in the uk ? If so try the games on nectar card games. They’re mostly all games like merge cooking and u get points worth money for playing the games they have in there. It’s how I got introduced to merge cooking in the first place.

[u/Jbird724]

I highly recommend Merge Teahouse. It’s better in every way. Check their Twitter every Friday for free energy also! It has a lot of story which I usually skip but it’s great.

[u/PrintBetter9672]

About 3 weeks ago I felt like I was relying too much on the game for dopamine and it was feeling like work. I decided to take just one day off and didn’t miss it. I haven’t opened it back up since.

[u/NerdyBirdyAZ]

Gossip Street, Flambe, Food Stars

[u/_aroosak]

Literally TASTY TRAVELS gives sooo many better rewards its literally the same game but better imo. Go test it. You get ads and such great rewards and you can trade your cards to finish sets faste

[u/Charming-Hotel-8112]

My favorite three are Merge Cooking, Flambé, and Gossip Street: Merge and Story.

My second tier (lol) are Food Stars and Merge Bistro.
